Hi Kai, 1. correct, no change in the image db since 4.5 up to 6.5 2. i would do a "bpmedia -movedb" afterwards, cause the new master will always try to connect to the old master server to update the mediaDB. This would take a while, but you'll get a clean setup then. But my proposal would be to make a plain 5.0MP3 installation on the new server and then copy /opt/openv from the old server to the new one. Change the bp.conf and run the box. this should work and is probably faster.
3. exactly Cheers Max -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kxie Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 5:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup migration from 5.0 to 6.5,with server name change Hello, very new to the NBU world. This is my first post here. I need to migrate/upgrade our existing 5.0MP3 netbackup to 6.5. Here is my setup Old server: Netbackup 5.0MP3 (running on a single linux box) connected to a SCSI tape library. New Server: Netbackup 6.5.2 on linux, 1 master, and 1 media server New servers will have new sernames, from what I have gathered so far here is the rough plan. 1. install NBU 5.1 on one master and one media server (my understanding is db/catalogs file are unchanged from 5.0 to 5.1) 2. add the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = oldservername newservername to bp.conf *import the master server catalog files from 5.0MP3 to the 5.1 Master server. then *import media server catalog files from 5.0MP3 to the 5.1 media server. Question: since I won't be connecting the tape library to the new media just yet, should I use recover or import?) 3. Verify it works, then upgrade from 5.1 to 6.5 Are these the correct steps to do the job? Any suggestion?
